1. For Your Safety

Read these simple guidelines before using your

phone. Failure to comply with these guidelines

may be dangerous or illegal.

For more detailed safety information, see

“Important Safety Information” on page 81.

Road Safety Comes First

Don’t use a hand-held phone while driving; park

the vehicle first.

Switch Off In Hospitals

Switch off your phone when near medical

equipment. Follow any regulations or rules in

force.

Switch Off On Aircraft

Mobile phones can cause interference.

Using them on aircraft is illegal.

Switch Off When Refueling

Do not use the phone at a refueling point.

Do not use near fuels or chemicals.

Switch Off Near Blasting

Do not use the phone where blasting is in

progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any

regulations or rules in force.

Interference

All mobile phones may get interference which

could affect performance.

Use Sensibly

Use only in the normal position (to ear).

Avoid unnecessary contact with the antenna

when phone is on.

2

Qualified Service

Only qualified service personnel may install or

repair cellular phone equipment. Use only

approved accessories and batteries.

FCC/Industry Canada Notice

A cellular phone may cause TV or radio interference

(e.g. when using a phone in close proximity to electronic re-

ceiving equipment). The FCC/Industry Canada can require

you to stop using your cellular phone if such interference

cannot be eliminated. If you require assistance, please

contact your local service facility.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.

Operation is subject to the condition that this device does

not cause harmful interference.

Using this Guide

The cellular phone described in this guide is approved for

use in AMPS and/or NAMPS networks.

A number of features included in this guide are called

Network Services. They are special services provided by

cellular service providers. Before you can take advantage

of any of these Network Services, you must subscribe to

the service(s) from your home service provider and obtain

instructions for their use.

sage. Blinks when Messages list (memory) is full.

Indicates menu or memory location number; may

indicate number of unheard voice messages.

and bar indicate the cellular signal strength of the

location where you are using your phone.

and bar indicate the battery charge level. When the

battery is fully charged, the whole bar is displayed.

4

Signal Strength Indication

A cellular phone sends and receives radio signals. As with

all radio equipment, the quality of radio reception depends

on the strength of the radio signal in the area where you

are operating your phone.

The strength of the cellular signal is shown by

the vertical bar on the left-hand side of the dis-

play. The higher the bar, the stronger the signal

at your present location.

When

NO SERVICE

is displayed, the phone is

either outside of the cellular service area or re-

stricted from entering service, and calls cannot

be made or received.

If the signal is poor and you are using the phone in a

building, you may get better reception near a window.

5

3. Battery Information

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. Use

only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and

recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by

the manufacturer. See “Important Battery Information” on

page 10.

See your cellular service provider or dealer for the battery

options available for your phone.

Charging the Battery

Plug the charger into a wall outlet and connect the charger

to the bottom of your phone.

When charging starts, the battery

segments scroll and the phone

beeps once.

You can use the phone during charg-

ing, but charging will be reduced for

the duration of the call.

Note: In a call, charging will stop completely if you are

using the Standard Travel Charger (ACP-7U).

After the segments of the battery indicator stop

scrolling and all segments are displayed, the

battery is fully charged. Disconnect the charger

from the power outlet and phone.

If the battery is too hot or cold, the charging may

be interrupted until the battery reaches its normal

operating temperature.

Note: With a new, completely discharged battery, the

phone may take up to 45 minutes to show that charging

is in progress.

Talk and Standby Times

Battery operation times depend greatly on how you use the

batteries, as well as on the coverage of the network and

network parameters set by the cellular service provider.

Discharging the Battery

A battery lasts longer and performs better if you fully

discharge it from time to time. To discharge the battery,

leave your phone switched on until the battery is drained

and the phone turns itself off. Then wait for 30 minutes

before connecting to a charging source. (See “Deep

Discharge” on page 9.)

Note: Do not discharge the battery by any other means.

Battery Low Warning

You get this message and a warning

tone when the battery charge is low

and only a few minutes of talk time

remain.

The repetition rate of the battery-low

warnings depends on the remaining battery capacity and

the battery condition. The warnings are more frequent

when you’re in a call.

Note: If you’ve selected the Vibra Only or Silent Ringing

Option, you won’t hear any warning tones. See “Ringing

Options (Menu 3 1)” on page 37.

When the battery charge is too low for the phone to work,

the phone displays

RECHARGE BATTERY

, then beeps,

then shuts itself off.

Charge the battery as described earlier in this section.

Deep Discharge

If you regularly just ‘top up’ the charge in your battery

without ever allowing it to fully discharge first, its life will be

shortened. In order to get the maximum life from your

battery you should allow it to discharge completely about

once a month.

To discharge the battery completely:

1

Leave the phone switched on until

RECHARGE

BATTERY

appears, then let the phone switch off

automatically.

2

Leave the phone alone for about 30 minutes (and

do

not

connect a charger within this time) after it

switches itself off.

10

During this 30 minutes, the phone is in ‘Deep

Discharge’ mode. The way to ‘wake up’ the phone is

to connect it to a charger.

3

Fully charge the battery after Deep Discharge.

The phone may remind you to discharge the battery, by

presenting a series of battery-advice messages. Press

!

or OK to page through the information, or press CLR to

clear the messages.

Important Battery Information

• Note that a new battery’s full performance is achieved

only after two or three complete charge and discharge

cycles!

• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds

of times but it will eventually wear out. When the

operating time (talk time and standby time) is notice-

ably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.

• Use only batteries approved by the phone manufac-

turer and recharge your battery only with the chargers

approved by the manufacturer.

• When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the

power source. Do not leave the battery connected to

a charger for longer than a week, since overcharging

may shorten its life. If left unused a fully charged

battery will discharge itself over time.

• (NiMH batteries only) For good operation times,

discharge the battery from time to time by leaving

your phone switched on until it turns itself off (or by

using the battery discharge facility of any approved

accessory available for your phone). Do not attempt

to discharge the battery by any other means.

11

• Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your

battery to charge: allow it to cool down or warm up

first.

• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.

• Never use any charger or battery which is damaged

or worn out.

• Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short cir-

cuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip, or

pen) causes direct connection of the + and - terminals

of the battery (metal strips on the back of the battery),

for example when you carry a spare battery in your

pocket or purse. Short circuiting the terminals may

damage the battery or the connecting object.

• Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a

closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce

the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to

keep the battery between 59º F and 77º F (15º C and

25º C). A phone with a hot or cold battery may

temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully

charged. NiMH batteries’ performance is particularly

limited in temperatures below 14º F (-10º C). Li-Ion

batteries’ performance is particularly limited in

temperatures below 32º F (0º C).

• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!

• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with any

local regulations.

12

4. The Basics

Switching On or Off

• Press and hold the

PWR

key for one second.

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any

other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over

your shoulder.

TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: Extend your antenna

fully when in calls. As with any other radio transmitting

device, avoid unnecessary contact with the antenna when

the phone is switched on. Contact with the antenna

affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at

a higher power level than otherwise needed.

WARNING! Do not switch the phone on when cellular phone

use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

Wake-up Message

When you switch your phone on, the phone displays a

wake-up message consisting of the phone number cur-

rently selected for your phone, or the name of the dealer if

this has been programmed. (If programmed, the name

takes precedence over the phone number.)

To change the wake-up message:

1

Press ABC, then enter the message. Press OK.

2

At the prompt

SAVE IN LOCATION?

, press

∗

. Press

OK. (The wake-up message is stored in location ‘

∗

’.)

Note: The Wake-up Message is different from the Reminder

Message you can store in your phone. See “Reminder

Message” on page 64.

13

Note: The wake-up message is specific to your currently

selected phone number.

Selecting a Network

Your phone operates on specific networks and sometimes

it must choose which system to use. This can happen, for

example, if you are roaming (i.e. you leave the area where

you have signed up for service).

If you want your phone to work only in certain types of

networks (for example, to take advantage of certain billing

agreements between systems), you can specify this using

“Carrier Selection (Menu 5 1 1)”. See page 45.

Making a Call

1

Extend the phone’s antenna fully.

2

Enter the

area code

and

phone number

, then press

SEND. If you make a mistake, press CLR to erase

digits one by one. Press and hold CLR to clear the

whole display.

A phone symbol appears on the

display. The call is connected when

the phone number disappears from

the display and

CALL

appears.

For international calls, you can enter a

‘+’ at the beginning of a number by pressing

∗∗

. Then enter

the number, then press SEND. The ‘+’ expands to the

international dialing code prefix.

NO SERVICE

appears and the phone beeps if you try to

make a call when your phone is outside the cellular service

area.
